THE SUN. 1 01.531 QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, 711 1U1?SDAY EVENING, .1114RCII 2, 1826. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, received this day, ban not a syllable of news of any kind whatever: They aro entirely filled with the de bates in the English and French Parliaments. The French Funds are quoted in these Papers as rolicws:--The Five per Cents. 98f. 60c., and the Three' 64f. 70c. Iu the 'French Papers of Monday, rocived last !light, we have c ommunications from Russia of a most important character, extracts from which will be found in our preceding column,. It were difficult to suggest any possible motive "r the, Russian Government for fabricating details plot und conspiracy, such as it has now triliounced ;—we may therefore confidently assume the facts stated to be true. Nor should we perhaps, incur the hazard of mis take, in extending the 'assumption to .a belief t hat more than here meets the eye, has b een withheld. Sufficient is, however, stated to Preclude all doubt that the spirit of reform' 4'hich animated France in 1789 is not extinct in Europ e . That it should have taken such INT root in a part of Europe, whore the human has been so long enchained, might , ex- ` its surprise, but that the result • of Russian literference in Western Europe, has been I ° clearly foreseen, and anticipated. - That' t he formation of th`e Holy Alliance resulted r°ll l a knowledge of the principles of reform hav ing taken root in Russia, Austria, and Prussia, "mita no doubt. It yet remains to be seen, whe ther the Grand Confederation, of which the object no t oriously i s , to throw back society, may not, en in the present generation, be brought to a conviction of the futility of the attempt. The Austrian Observer to the 18th February, %eised this day, has some intelligence from Greece, but it does not appear to convey much additional information on the state of the war there. The following are extracts : • j; VIENNA, FE8.17. The last post from Constantinople of the 25th of January brings no news from the theatre of war. M. Stratford Canning, who arrived at Smyrna on the 12th of January on board the Revenge, Rear-Admiral Sir 11. B. Neale, accompanied by a frigate and two corvettes, sailed on the 15th for the Dardanelles, whence he intended to proceed to Constantinople in a transport. Minziacky, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, having re ceived, on the 16th of January, official information from St. Petersburgh of the accession of the Emperor Nicholas, the Russian subjects in Constantinople were summoned to take the oath on the 20th. The complaints of the Captains of the merchantmen of the rapacity of the pirates, who respect no flag or nation, becomes daily more general and loud. Tito Government at Napoli di Romania, as it is called, has neither the power nor the inclina tion to do justice to the complaints of this evil ; so that the aggrieved must s ee k p rotect i on or sat i sfaction by their own means. The Government even oppresses, in the most arbi trary manner, the subject s an d agents of European Powers re siding in or carrying on business with the islands subject to it. The most urgent remonstrances of these agents are either wholly disregarded, or answered in the most arrogant tone, as lately happened to the English Vice-Consul at Santorino, who complained of the augmentation of the duties of customs by the Greek Authorities. According to information from the Imperial Vice-Consul at the same island, all the consular agents at Santorino have been compelled to pay each a per. sonal tax of 1000 piastres to the Authorities there, and their refusal was treated with contempt. The news brought by the last post but one from Constanti nople (of 10th January), of Ibrahim Pacha's expedition to wards Salona, is fully confirmed by the Greek Journals-which we have since received. The Universal Gazelle of Greece, published at Rapoli di Roptania, in the number of 23d Dec! N.S., has the following amount of it:— " The corps of Suliots at Salona had already received orders from the Government to go to the aid of lilissolonghi. The Generals resolved in Council that General Georgios Drake should remain in this town with his corps for the protection and defence of the province of Saloon. Generals Kosta Bot zari, S. Dangli, and others, set out on the 3d December to the place of their destination. But they had scarcely reached Lidoriki, when they learned that twenty-two enemy's ships had appeared at the Scala di Salona, and that the Arabs had landed, General Drako and his companions proceeded against the enemy as Soon as they were informed of his landing, and attacked him with all their* power; but our troops could not fight a battle with such superior numbers, and therefore resolved to protect the coontry, as far as lay in their power, and to preserve the fortress of Salona. An enemy's corps of about 500 men advanced towards Chrisso, but retired without entering the village. On the 7th, those who had gone towards 3lissolunghi retired, and while they were preparing to attack the enemy on the Bth, in the morning, he re-embarked in the night, and sailed away. On which our troops again set out on their march to Missolonghi. Though we lost no people on this occasion, the enemy did considerable damage. In Ga. losidi, the Scala de Salona, and on the rest of the wino, he took and burnt above 30 vessels. According to the latest accounts received at Salona by Gen. Drako, the Sultan, enraged at the flight of his troops front Snt: lona, had ordered Sultsa Kortsia and his son to be beheaded." , VrEsora, Piro. 17.—Metalliques, 91—Bank Shares, 1130. Observer, Feb. 18.) • This alludes to the evacuation of Salons by the Turks, in the night of the 6th November.—(iVute of Austrian Observer.) Wu are very little disposed to question the pro- priety of the measure by which the Bank have been prevailed upon to advance money upon deposits of goods, but certain we are, that however be neficial its effects may be in the first instance, they can produce no very permanent effect. But however that point may hereafter turn out, we feel convinced that the Government were right in refusing to accede to any proposal for the 'ad vance of Exchequer Bills, because that could not have been done, without materially depreciating the value of those already on the market, and which as our readers know exceed thirty-three millions in amount. But there is yet un other reason far more cogent than this. Thu Government must have felt the plan to be impracticable, or they would gladly have availed themselves of it, to cover up the share they had n producing this great distress, and to shelter themselves from the effect of the storm whic their impolitic measures excited. The budgei yet remains to be opened, and what if this budget shall contain a proposal to Parliament for a loan, in order to enable the Govermm ►►t to pay off some portion of the .33 millions now outstanding against them ? What if the boasted Sinking Fund of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex. CHEQUER shall be despoiled of the surplus rem venue, and that surplus applied to liquidate bills given in discharge of debts which ought to have been paid out of the ordinary yearly income of the nation. Such a statement given by the CHANCELLOR, in answer to the repeated efforts made to induce him to depart from an opinhiti he had formed.—and in which he persevered, not from any conviction of its sound. ness, but because he felt the plan was impos. sible—would have silenced all objections. If re lief was to be administered, it must come in theway proposed, or not at all. The fact is, that Govern ment has no money to advance, and to pledge its credit deeper than it already was pledged, would only be to weaken it, and sink the value of every marketable Government Security. !l ow then could Government advance this money ? The thing was impossible, was beyond ar gument, and therefore, however expedient it might have been, the choice could not be submitted to Parliament—the Bank was the only means through which pecuniary assist ance could he rendered. It is not then worth while to enter into the question, as to , which of two particular measures was the most expe dient. But after all it comes to the same thing, for the Government, it is understood, is to gua rantee the Bank from loss, and to afford them assistance, by Paying off part of the debt due to them from the nation. Bow is this to be done but by a loan from the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund and who, to obtain this money, must sell a portion of the stock they have bought with the surplus revenue of the country. But the apprehension is that, the Mi nisters will not resort to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund on this occasion, they will go into the market and contract fora loan With any person who shall offer. Be it so; such a pro ceeding renders the absence of the required Ex chequer Bills ten times more essential, for what with the efforts of the Stock Jobbers, and what with the depreciation of the value of Government Securities in general, the price of Stocks would of necessity fall, and thus place the Minister at the mercy of the Capitalists of this Metropolis, a situation, indeed, froM which they can hardly hope to escape. Stich, truly, is the happy condition of the country, that any loan must be effected under serious and very heavy disadvantages to the public, and which dis advantages would be augmented, had au issue of Exchequer Bills been akread to. It would have been something very like lending money for the rake of borrowing it back again.— But supposing then this loan a thing al.. ready decided upon, what would have been the effect of throwing an additional qvantitrOf the Government paper on the market, and placing the Alinisters in that awkward situation of ac commodating the merchant with a loan, on the one hand, and being compelled to ask for a loan on the other ? "% Vitt) what disadvantage to the public would they not have effected this loan ? and what sacriticei must they not have made, had they . been induced by any arguments, or even facts, to depart from that course which they had resolved upon, and which, happily for the nation, they are compelled to follow.

THE FUNDS. Consols—Yesterday, closed After the Close 78 76 This morning opened The anticipation of an advance in Consols has thus far ended in disappointment, the proposed measure for relief, being generally considered doubtful in its result. If,as it is supposed, assist. ance will be given even for sums of less than 81000, the transactions will be so numerous, as to occasion a loss of time, that max i defeat the intention of the measure, and operate to delay the arrangement generally, to the great incon venience and injury of the applicants. Consols begun this morning at 761, and ad. vanced to 76i. A report of unfavourable intelli gence from Russia, flattened the market, which, by 12, had dropped to 76; ; and at 1 o'clock, the quotation was 76&. A rumour of unfavourable news prevailed late in the day yesterday, on the strength of which the Supreme Director of a western establish ment called Fishmongers' Hull, sold iOO,OOO Consols. Various rumours are in circulation on the subject of Russian affairs--the assas. ablation of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and assump tion of the Throne by CONSTANTINE—the recal of the Russian Ambassador from London—the determination of Russia to advance against the Turks. Although these rumours can be traced to no authentic source, and are generally discre dited, they produce a decided effect on the Consol Market. It has been reported this morning, that the at most extent required by the Minister will be 10 millions, and that for this amount he may resort to the Sinking Fund, in preference to raising the amount by loan.

" This town was in a very riotous - state laiLt nigbt—evcry body was much alarmed—mobs composed of some hundred par. sons were parading the town, anti broke a number of windows, anti in some cases completely destroyed the frames. They broke into several bakers' and cook-shops, taking away what. ever they could lay their hands on. It seems they were most indiscriminate in their fury, as many of the houses attacked were those inhabited by persons unconnected with the silk trade, and who had subscribed large sums for their relief. This is market-, day, but such is the alarm, no conamodities wer e expose d f or sale. The town is lik e a fair—but lam happy . to say, among the ma jority a feeling of disapprobation exists against such pro. ceedings. The tith (Enniskillen) Dragoons are here. The shops *ere closed at an early hour last night. Some persons who had agreed to give sums weekly, have expressed their de termination to stop. Thus they will injure themselves mate. rially if they persist in their unlawful conduct. The principal cenes of riot were 111111.atreet and Market'-street. • Letters from Cadiz intimate that great fear is entertained for the safety of Cuba. The Guer rero man-of-war and a corvette bad sailed for that island. Letters from Bucharest say, that the prophecies of Argo. thangelos, published three centuries past, and which were re printed by order of the Russian Government in 1812, announce the taking of Constantin o pl e i n 1827. Th e d eat h s of aIL the E Russian mperors up to Alexander is also prophecied in the clearest way, as also the French expedition to Illoscow."

Mr. ALLEY ,and Mr. Bunn's• conducted the prosecution, which was carried on at the expellee of the parish of St. Matthew, Bedmal-Green—and Mr. CHARLES Pitur.ros de ; tended the prisoners. It appeared from the testimony of the little girl, as well as from that of many other witnesses, that about 16 months ago she was apprenticed to Burn and his wife, who are weavers at Bethnal-Green, by the parish of St. Bartholomew the Great (with a premium) for the term of seven years that whilst she was on trial, no persons could be have more kindly to her than the defendants; but no' sooner were the indentures executed, and she entirely under their controul, than they pursued a series of the .most shameful cruelty that has been for some time heard of towards her. The chief diet they afforded the child, was ,dry bread and water, potatoe 'peelings, and occasionally a little water gruel, till at length she became so exhausted that she was unable to work at her loom, which the defendant con.. sidered to be laziness, and, to punish her, they deprived her of her food entirely, which she actually went without for days together, in addition to which privations, the Mistress would so unmercifully beat her over the head with a birch broom till it was covered with wounds and contusions; and on one occasion the mistress filled one of the wounds with salt, Which of Course prodireed the most excruciating agonies. The male defendant was continually beating the poor child with a Mpe, and till her body was one complete mass of discoloura don, at length the parish heard of the affair, and had instituted the present proceedings. Mr. PUTtra Ps made a long address to the Court and Jury for his clients, but confessed he could not call any witnesses to contradict the witnesses for the prosecution. However, he called three or four persons, who gave the prisoners an caw!_ lent character for humanity. The Jury found both Gaily, and the Court sentenced the woman to six months, and the man to three months unprt sonmenL POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL —_{Tuts DAY.) First amongst the disorderlies ushered betore-the Sitting Ma gistrates was Itlr. George Kent, _of sportin g notor i ety, who was charged by . a young m an , named John Beal, with having placed his jaw-bone by a tremendous blow of the list. The at_fair took place so near the Circus watch-house, that George dropped into it from the recoil of his own blow, where he was detained all night with many of the jolly votaries of St. David. Glyorge clued that he had been to visit a friend in the King's Bench prison, with whom, getting almost as drunk as David's sow, he had no recollection of the circumstance, and he thought it was impossible ho could have struck the blow without knock. ing the prosecutor to pieces. The Magistrate fined him ts. for being drunk, and the prosecutor went over to the Sessions then. sitting at liorsemonger-lane, to prefer a bill of indictment for the assault. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
